v To all 'whomit may concern:

Be itknown that I, THoMAs W, AUSTIN, e

`vcitizen of the'. United' States, residingl et Omaha., in the county of Douglas and StateV of Nebraska, have, invented certain new and useful Improvements in Leggings, .ot which the following is e description.

lMy invention belongs to that class or' de vices known as leg-gings, and has for its ob! ject the production of ity simple, convenient, end more efficient legging of the kind dev scribed. -L

To this end :ny invention consists in the novel constrnction, arrangement and-combination of parts herein shown and described, pnrticulerly pointed out in the claims. f v Y ln the drawings, wherein like reference cha-ractersrindicete .like or corresponding .240

Referrin to the drawings in Which-my referred orm of legging is shown, 1 is the ody part mede of-any suitable orpreferred ,niateriel, end o cned on one side in the rnsutlv manner( ny suitable mea-nsmay be employed yto secure the edges et the open vpart together. Preferably on the interior of the legging' substantially proximate to the 8. The apron 8 may be made of any suitable material and secured to the body part 'in any preferred wavy. In use the apron 8,

use e lacing 2 above the apron and any suitable torni of buckle 4t, 5,1below the point of attachment of the apron to the body port iso that the lower end of the body part may be easily uninstened and turned up as shown. rllhe usuel strep 8 is provided and adapted to pass under the foot sind be engaged by the buckle `i' or its equivalent.

By the use of e legging provided with en' apron adapted to tuck into the footwear, all dirt or snow is prevented from entering the footwear. As is obviods,J if desired, the apron 8 may be placed on the outside of the body part and the lower end l1 of the body part be positioned within the toot-weer, the result being substantially the seme. As

shown the apron is mede so that one edge will extend over the other when in position.

Referring particularly to Fig. S the apron is secured to the body part, :is :it 9, from one edge to a, pointbetween the edges so that there 4is a point es at 10 Where it is not secured to the body port, although it extendsA to theopposite edge. This permits the apron being lapped over when the legging is laced up.-

Having thus described. my invention, it is obvious Y that various immaterial modifications nmy' be made in the :term or construcy the footweemmeens for securing together the edges of said body port at the onen side thereof above seid apron, and buckling ineens for securing seid edges together below the point of attachment of sind anron.
